I don’t always have much (or any) Christmas spirit. December is just not one of my favorite months. One of the things that annoys me the most is just how damned early it gets dark. It’s not much fun to wake up in the dark and come home from work in the dark.

But dark isn’t always bad. Take for instance the iTAP Nightmare Before Christmas. Next Saturday, December 15th the International Tap House (both locations) will be putting on a bunch of big, rare beers, and a bunch of dark beers to boot. Here’s a list of what to expect:

I can’t believe it’s already been three years since Six Row Brewing first opened its doors. That’s crazy talk.

Before we saw this huge explosion of breweries opening in St. Louis over the past few years, Six Row was first on the scene. And to celebrate their anniversary, they’re throwing three days worth of events.

Take a look below for the events taking place over the next few days:
